Product Overview

Google Pixel 2 is one of the best smartphones of 2017. It is made by Google itself and gives you the best Android experience. Although there is a lot of bezel on the top and bottom of the phone that does not hurt as the phone offers some features which no other phone in the market does.

Design

Well, everyone was hoping that the Pixel 2 will come with the bezel-less design but that is not the case. The device has a lot of bezel on top and bottom of the phone. The phone has front facing speakers which make it stand out in the competition. Front facing speakers is one of the most demanded features in smartphones. Just like the HTC U11, the phone has a squeeze feature. You can squeeze he phones from the sides to perform different functions. Like you can squeeze the phone to silent incoming calls and you can trigger Google Assistant with it.

The power button and volume rocker are present on the right side of the phone and strangely, the power button is orange or light green. The fingerprint sensor is where you expect it to be (on the back, just below the camera lens). The device has a USB Type-C port on the bottom.

Camera

The last year’s Google Pixel was one of the best shooters of the year. Google aims to be the best smartphone camera this year as well. Both Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have the same cameras. It comes with 12.3 MP, f/1.8, OIS and EIS (gyro) camera with phase detection & laser autofocus. The camera captures amazing photos of course and it is also one of the best video recorders in a smartphone camera.

Performance

The Google Pixel 2 is one of the best performers out there for obvious reasons. It comes with Snapdragon 835 chipset with Octa-core (4×2.45 GHz Kryo & 4×1.9 GHz Kryo) CPU and Adreno 540 GPU. The internal storage is 64/128 GB and there is no Micro SD card slot. It comes with 4 gigs of RAM. The Pixel 2 does not lag even on heaviest multitasking. It comes with 2700 mAh battery which supports flash charging. And it is the first device to come with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box.
